- The Supreme Court revived a principle that ‘jail and not bail is the exception’ while granting bail to former Deputy CM of Delhi, Manish Sisodia.
- The adage ‘bail is the rule, jail is an exception’ came from the pen of Justice Krishna Iyer, in 1977.
- It was first used in the judgment of the 'State of Rajasthan vs Balchand alias Baliya' case.
- The ruling underscored that bail should be denied only in circumstances where there is a risk of the accused fleeing from justice, obstructing justice, repeating offenses, or intimidating witnesses.
